erm..... Ministers who move on and pass on their former positions to successors got 2 choices:
- Stay on to contribute. Means be Senior Minister.
- Retire. Means leave as Minister.

Pinky still contributing to govt work actively. that's why he's SM what. :o

What would be ideal is to have a 50/50 government. First half PAP prime minister run the country. Followed by the opposition.

Then next election rally both sides can claim how one party leadership did over the other.

Personally feel that we should just reform our electoral system.
FPTP is really outdated, except for US/SG/UK most of the developed countries around the world is employing PR (with parallel voting)

Adopt Proportional representation and introduce parallel voting.

Then properly separate Municipal duties and lawmaker duties.

Thereafter, completely make civil service non-partisan (like what we see in Nordic Countries/Switzerland/Austria/Nehtlernads/Germany/Japan, etc.)

Last step is to practice separation of power, which allows head-of-states to be able to be impeached by a neutral judge which is non-partisan.

Also we need term limits too (Max 2 terms of 4-5 years each).

Policies take time to have intended effect. You'll encourage gov of the day to ignore long term planning.

Yes.

Long term planning happens in the background while people lives their normal lives. We the people do not know what the government is planning to do with immigration, for example, or housing in the next 10-20 years. We let the government work it out and finally when it is ready, new policies will be tabled in parliament for voting to proceed or to shelf.

Even if it means that this process can be tedious and very very painfully slow, at least the people know their MPs will vote for what their constituents want.

Not just pass the resolution, even with so many debates and arguments. In the end, the majority always gets their way.

And the people sulks for 4-5 years before the next election, wanting change.

The vicious cycle repeats.
